Scient Names Tortoroli CFO

Scient Inc. named Jacques Tortoroli, formerly of Young & Rubicam, as its chief financial officer. Michael J. Casey, formerly CFO of iXL Enterprises, was originally slated for the position when Scient announced it would merge with iXL in July, but Mr. Casey later said he would leave the company to pursue other opportunities. At the time, the company said iXL Controller David Morgan would take the position until a new CFO could be found. Scient, Atlanta, provides Web consulting services.
